Here are some areas that we need more information before we can make general recommendations:

Development of antibodies and immunity:

When you are exposed to an infection, your body’s immune system is stimulated and responds to the infection by making antibodies against it. There are different types of antibodies and they act differently in helping your immune system respond to different types of infections.

Antibodies are found in your plasma, or the part of your blood that has no cells.

There are currently clinical trials taking place that are looking to see if giving the convalescent plasma of someone that has recovered from COVID-19 to a patient currently infected with SARS-CoV-2 will help the patient recover faster.
